The best athletes in Great Britain and Northern Ireland will vie for places at Paris 2024 at the UK Athletics Championships.
The event serves as the official British Olympic trials in all events other than the 10,000 metres, with top two finishers booking their spot at the Games if they have also met the qualifying standard set by UK Athletics.
Yet unlike at the trials in the United States, the governing body also has the ability to make discretionary selections for the Olympics , allowing them to potentially include Zharnel Hughes even with the sprinter missing the national championships due to injury.
Keely Hodgkinson and Josh Kerr will also skip their preferred distances with selection already secure, but Team GB ’s depth in a number of events should make for an entertaining battle for Olympic places.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When are the UK Athletics Championships?
The 2024 UK Athletics Championships will take place on Saturday June 29 and Sunday June 30 at the Manchester Regional Arena.
